About 18 months ago I placed an order with Wiktor for a Goodell-Pratt 5.5 drill and three Millers-Falls (732, 733 and 734) original-series braces. I received the drill about 6 months ago but the braces have been delayed. One thing led to another and yesterday I received one each of a 730 (14"), 731 (12"), 732 (10"), 733 (8") and 734 (6") braces.
They're in awesome condition with the handles long soaked in oil and the bodies completely disassembled, cleaned and greased. There is little to zero slop in the bearings and the ratchets and chucks work perfectly.
This isn't intended as a tool gloat but rather to extol Wiktor's awesome work.
No, the extra two braces weren't free :( ; they just became available during the time the others were in his queue. so I added them to the order.

P.S. I know that some of you have done your own. In my case I haven't the time or interest in the refabbing; my thing is woodworking. :)
